I'll be interested in the playoff battles going on between Hino, Kero, and Desjardins...whatever the lines are tonight.
I hope Hino is given a chance to play at least as a rested change-up player to toss at them after a loss or two. Desjardins, Ras, Hino, Jurco, TooToo offer you a little of anything you want.
My personal guess for game 1 playoffs: the way I like it, because Hartman is a creator, who can work with Desjardins hockey intelligence, and we are going to probably neutrolize one player...Q probably flops Hayden/Hartmen....I would just bench Desjardins and create 4 scoring lines.
Smaltz-Toews-Panik
Panarin-Anisimov-Kane
Hayden-Kero-Hossa
Desjardins-Kruger-Hartman
4 Scoring Lines look to throw change ups in stagnant series
Smatlz-Toews-Panik
Panarin-Anisimov-Kane
Hino-Kruger-Hossa
Hayden-Kero-Hartman
BOOM...thats my final line science. Flop Kruger/Kero and push the high quality youngins together. Hossa and Hino use Kruger as a net front guy more, while Hartman/Hayden love to hit, Hayden should be in front but both are versatile, and Kero is more wheels and responsibility.
